Chula Vista RV welcomes in the holiday season with wonderful festivities! The main events always occur the second weekend in December. Many people show up just for this special event. The park was full of campers and their visitors.
During the afternoon Santa's sleigh bells ring up and down the streets of the resort as
Mr. and Mrs. Santa, Rudolph and a complement of elves parade by. Candy canes are given out to parade watchers and doggy bones to man's best friends.

The Happy Campers Camping Club shows the week of the event. They decorate an entire street. Sometimes they even spill on to adjoining areas. Each site includes matching baby fences which provides continuity for all the displays. Here are some photos I captured this year.
Derrille and I really liked the displays all in white.
Many displays have the blow up figures.
Most of the RVs have blocked off their front windows and used that for displays too.
This year two rigs were celebrating Hanukkah.
Here are some others displays:
The Happy Campers sit around heaters in the center of the street.
The park gives out prizes for clubs, monthly residents and weekend guests. We would never win a prize, but we enjoy our candy cane motif.
After enjoying the holiday lights, we moved to the large club room for the Chocolate Extravaganza! Tables were set up with an array of chocolate treats. We didn't care for the ones we sampled, but we like the idea.
Chairs were brought in for some of us. Then Mama's Wranglers performed for the next hour. What fun! Mama had four of her six children with her. They sang Western and Christmas songs. They played multiple instruments: guitars, violins,, mandolin, banjo and tympani.
Three did clog dancing. The youngest, an 11 year old girl, has been yodeling since she ws 6 years old. Although the group probably won't be winning an award, their program was fast, fun and thoroughly enjoyable. What a wonderful way to greet the holidays!
Look carefully at this photo. The kids did some amazing things. One was playing someone else's violin while still fingering their own for whoever was playing their violin.
We left the program on Saturday night feeling very much in the Christmas spirit. The Happy Campers dismantled their displays in the next few days and disappeared until next year. Mr. and Mrs. Santa took down their massive display and left. Another motorhome creates a huge display that will remain up for the holidays. Several other sites have fextive displays, just not as big as that one or those of the Happy Campers. The park entrance stays lit all month. Very Nice!
May you find joy in this season and in the coming year!
